just starting my first grow and i want to make sure this is an ok way to sprout my seeds. thanks to anyone who replies :)

im going to soak them in water overnight for about 9 hours and then put each seed into a plastic drinking cup with 4 holes drilled in the bottom about 2/3 full of coco. i will make like an inch long hole with my finger, drop the seed in and then gently cover the hole with loose coco. i have a little mini greenhouse thing i will stick about 8-10 cups in under a couple of veg CLFs.

I have some vitalink plantstart, rhizotonic and something called superthrive. should i start adding this stuff to my watering mix? if so when and which ones? also any tips on how often should i water the seedlings would be great :)

thanks for reading here is a 6164.jpggirl

Do the paper towel method and make sure heat is consistent.
Only ever used root it kit before with there babby nute but im just germinating and using vita link seedling/plant starter.
Cant say its making much difference.
Im using root riot(always slow ) and stonewool(Always quick).
Im doing 3ml a litre to be safe and will use vita link max veg 1/4 strengh in 2-3 week when I go to 4inch cubes.
Im doing hydro.
Used vita link max for many years but not had a full grow from seeds,just clones

Not 1inch,5mm,wait for tap root to show 1st.
Dont water to much cuz you want root to search for water,im misting mine till shell comes off,then il water when it dry,note bone dry.
Never done soil,just letting you know what I do.
leave em in soaked bog roll till root shows

Paper towel in a plastic bag --- spray them a LITTLE bit with a spray bottle--warm dark surroundings--and they should be showing tails within a day or two
